The earliest well-researched ancestor of
my American Tuttle line is Thomas
Totehyll born around 1506 in County
Northampton, England. There are records of scattered
individuals, who may or may not be part of the same line,
as far back as the Domesday Book, a
census of landowners taken in the 11th century.

Among
the descendents of Thomas Totehyll are all of the Tuttells
who emigrated to America in 1635 on the ship Planter.
Connections to the other main lines have not been
positively established, but it is likely that Thomas was
related in some fashion to the Tuthills of Devonshire.

Henry Tuthill of
Tharston, County Norfolk, England, married Alice
Gooch.

Henry
Tuthill, baptised 28-Jun-1612 in Tharston,
County Norfolk, England, came to Hingham, Massachusetts,
perhaps as early as 1634.

Henry moved in 1644 to Southold, Long Island, on the
"North Fork" across the sound from the mouth of
the Connecticut River, where his brother John
Tuthill served as constable. Henry established a
long line of descendants named both Tuthill and Tuttle.

The 240-ton barque Angel
Gabriel, captained by Robert
Andrews, left London, England late in May of
1635. It was wrecked 15-Aug-1635 offshore of Pemaquid
Point, Maine, in "a great storm", perhaps a
hurricane. The ship's captain and many of the passengers
were rescued, including John Tuttle,
born c1618 in Devonshire, England, who later settled in
Dover Neck, New Hamsphire. For 150 years, all of
the Tuttles in New Hampshire were descended from him.
